![[The Fury from Alan Moore's 1963] First off, I can't believe nobody's every made The Fury before and uploaded him to this site. He's Alan Moore's riff on Spider-Man / Daredevil type characters. His costume and disk weapons make for a very entertaining super-hero, and Union Jack was a great base for him, because he has plenty of articulation. Beyond repainting the figure, making eyes out of Fixit putty and disks out of pennies and putty were the other steps. Deciding exactly how to make The Fury's costume look was a bit difficult. Since the 1963 series was a spoof on Marvel's comics from that era, it is hard to tell if the artist intentionally or unintentionally included inconsistencies, such the shape and color of his eyes (they are white in some panels, yellow in others). Also, depending on the page the red design on his front did (or didn't) carry over to his back. It was a lot of fun to make this figure, and oddly enough, I was going to make him even before this contest was posted-- it was just lucky for me t](userimages/customs/48000/47810-1.jpg) The Fury from Alan Moore's 1963 Marvel Legendsby NiveFirst off, I can't believe nobody's every made The Fury before and uploaded him to this site.

So, I repainted this figure to fix that. The paint app on the yellow was difficult for several reasons: I don't have the proper color red to touch up any mistakes that could have occurred. I tried using painters/masking tape near the spots where the original yellow and red met, but that didn't work and I ended up having to chip off misapplied blue with a toothpick. :( It also seemed like the paint didn't want to apply very nicely to the yellow (which may have been my imagination or may have actually been due to the 'sheen' that the original paints have). And lastly, the trio of arms on the back took a ton of coats because they have a zillion crevices AND the initial coats had a green tinge since it was blue over yellow. They eyes were the easiest bit. It wasn't a smooth go, but I think he turned out okay, all things considered.](userimages/customs/47000/46778-1.jpg) Iron Spidey Stark Armor Alternate Colors Spider-Manby NiveI never loved Spider-Man's Stark Armor look, mostly due to the eyes and the lack of any blue in the costume.
